Oana Gheorghiu, despre Legea salarizării: Două treimi dintre bugetari ar fi câștigat mai mult. PSD a sabotat acordul politic
Deputy Prime Minister Oana Gheorghiu blames PSD for delaying public sector salary reform and blocking a political agreement, risking €770 million from PNRR. She highlights that the obligation for a new salary law was included in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan since 2021, which the Ministry of Labor failed to deliver. Gheorghiu points out that PSD controlled the portfolio for over four years without presenting a final project or conducting necessary consultations. The interim Minister of Labor, Dragoș Pîslaru, has since accelerated the process, leading to discussions with unions and political parties. The proposed law aims to increase salaries for about two-thirds of public sector employees, while maintaining current levels for others. Gheorghiu accuses PSD of blocking the negotiated political agreement and links this failure to the risk of losing European funds. Negotiations have reached a deadlock, with Pîslaru emphasizing the financial stakes involved.
